When is the best time to visit New Caledonia?Peak travel times to New Caledonia from Australia tend to sit in the middle of both the seasons (between September and December)—when the temperatures are mild, the rainfall is low, and there is less humidity! The best time to visit New Caledonia, however, depends on how you want to spend your time there. If you plan on an active holiday, the cooler months are ideal. Hikers tend to avoid the summer rains, as do whale watchers, divers, and snorkelers (visibility is best between April and November). Foodies and cultural enthusiasts can withstand a little rain. There are plenty of festivals, museums, and art galleries to check out during the summer months. You can read more about all of these experiences here!
